The number of
Concept Introduction:
The elements in group
For d-block elements, the number of electrons in valence shell is same as the group number. The number of d-electrons is two less than the group number.
The first sequence of d-block elements starts with the element scandium which has one
For the elements, in the same group, the number of valence electrons as well as d-electrons remains the same.
